UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
PATRICK FISHER
Clerk
SARAH JONES,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v. No. 02-5053
D.C. No. 00-CV-951-M
JO ANNE B. BARNHART, (N.D. Oklahoma)
Commissioner, Social Security
Administration,
Defendant - Appellee.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before BRISCOE , Circuit Judge, BRORBY , Senior Circuit Judge, and HARTZ ,
Circuit Judge.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
unanimously to grant the parties’ request for a decision on the briefs without oral
argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore
ordered submitted without oral argument.
*
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court
generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order
and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
We review the decision of the Commissioner, expressed as the decision of
the administrative law judge (ALJ), to determine if the correct legal standards
were applied and if the decision is supported by substantial evidence. See White
v. Barnhart , 287 F.3d 903, 905 (10th Cir. 2001). The claimant, Ms. Jones, raises
three issues: (1) whether the ALJ failed to properly consider the medical source
opinions; (2) whether the ALJ's assessment of claimant's credibility was supported
by substantial evidence; and (3) whether the ALJ's finding regarding claimant's
residual functional capacity was supported by substantial evidence. Having
reviewed the parties’ arguments and the record on appeal, we conclude that Ms.
Jones has not pointed to any reversible legal error and that the ALJ’s decision is
supported by substantial evidence.
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED for substantially the
reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s order of February 28, 2002.
